The 2027 Corvette Z06 makes sense for someone who specifically wants a Chevrolet two-seater with rear-wheel drive and a 5.5-liter eight-cylinder gasoline engine. The cost side is clear: EPA estimates $5,500 in annual fuel, and city driving is rated at 12 MPG. Highway trips reach 21 MPG, but the combined figure remains 15 MPG. If your priorities center on minimizing fuel spending or emissions, this car's numbers point you toward a different type of vehicle.

Trade-offs
City use is rated at 12 MPG, compared with 21 MPG on the highway. That gap matters if most of your miles are in town. The $5,500 annual fuel estimate and 597 grams of CO2 per mile are the running-cost trade-offs.
